Michael Jackson's mother branded her son a "damn f****t" when she learned years before the rest of the world how he had been giving money to the parents of the "little boys" who stayed in his bedroom, old footage has revealed.

The King of Pop's older sister, LaToya Jackson, made the bombshell claims in a 1993 interview with NBC News, in which she said mum Katherine had an inkling that Michael was getting dangerously close to young children nine YEARS before the first sex abuse allegation surfaced.

Her comments came shortly after the first accuser, Jordan Chandler, went public with his allegation that Jackson had sexually assaulted him at his Neverland ranch.

LaToya added: "That's what she would say all the time. She knows it. And now she's denying it and that's what hurts."

Michael always strenuously denied the string of sexual abuse allegations made against him by a number of children, and was acquitted of 10 charges relating to inappropriate behaviour with minors in his 2005 trial.

LaToya also told the broadcaster that a rolling rota of boys would stay in his bedroom for "days".

"I know he would have boys over all the time," she claimed in her TV interview.

"They would stay in there for days. And then they would come out and another boy (would go in) and then he would bring someone else. But never two at a time.
